Vi har ett hus med en utbyggnad från 60-talet på ca 30 kvm med krypgrund. Tidigare ägare hade isolerat krypgrunden, vilket ledde till luktproblem. All isolering i krypgrunden revs ut och för två år sedan installerades avfuktare. Lukten blev mycket bättre men aldrig helt borta.

Sedan dess har vi:

Ozonbehandlat, Rengjort alla ytor, Målat om väggar, Vädrat kontinuerligt, Kört luftrenare i rummet

Trots detta finns fortfarande en svag lukt kvar, särskilt när man kommer in i den delen av huset efter att det varit stängt ett tag.

Nu försöker ja tänka rationellt kring nästa steg, men det börjar bli svårt eftersom varje åtgärd riskerar att leda till att man ändå måste göra större ingrepp senare.

1. Byta golvmattor 1A. När man ändå gör det riva upp hela golvet och byta isolering/bjälklag om det sitter lukt där
2. Även ööppna väggar och byta isolering/stomme.
3. I praktiken totalrenovera byta allt hela utbyggnaden invändigt. Ytterväggarna är tegel men resten är trästomme.

Problemet är att om vi bara gör steg 1 och lukten kommer tillbaka, så måste vi ändå senare göra 1A och kanske även 2. Då känns det som pengar kastade i sjön.

Hur hade ni tänkt här?
När accepterar man att man måste öppna allt istället för att fortsätta med punktinsatser?
Finns det någon som varit i liknande situation och faktiskt blivit av med lukten permanent?

I’ve seen a lot of hype around ARRI cameras being used in a major live broadcast environment at the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, and honestly most of the show looked great. But during song number 11, Czechia, one of the camera feeds suddenly completely fell apart visually. It almost looked like the image switched from a highend cinema camera to a cheap temu surveillance camera feed with heavy flickering, strange motion rendering, and really harsh digital artifacts. I’m really curious where in the pipeline something like this could realistically happen in a production of that scale.

Could it have been sensor timing or shutter interaction with the stage LEDs, a genlock issue, RF transmission instability, frame sync errors, HDR processing, or something downstream in the broadcast chain? The image almost looked like it dropped into another processing mode entirely for a moment.

I also wonder whether the issue was visible on the onboard monitor of the camera itself or if it only appeared in the final broadcast feed. If someone has mobile phone footage from inside the arena during the Czechia performance in the final, especially footage showing the venue screens or even the camera rig itself, that could actually help narrow it down. If the flicker was visible in-camera or on the arena screens then the issue probably originated close to the camera system itself. If the arena image looked clean while only the broadcast feed looked broken, then the fault was probably introduced later in transmission, synchronization, conversion, or broadcast processing.

Would love to hear thoughts from people who work with highend live broadcast systems. Grabbed some frames.

I got into smart home stuff around the end of 2020. Started simple with a Philips Hue bridge and a light strip in the kitchen. It actually felt amazing at first. Then I added lights in the bathroom and started getting more interested in automation and Home Assistant because some devices weren’t supported on the Hue bridge.That’s when the problems started. I bought a Conbee Zigbee adapter. Never got things working 100%. There was always some random issue, dropped devices, bugs after updates, weird pairing problems. Then everyone said Skyconnect was the future so I upgraded again. That brought a different set of problems. Devices randomly dropping until I lowered the security settings which honestly felt ridiculous just to keep lights connected. now it works.

Zigbee already feels like it’s slowly getting pushed aside because Matter is suddenly the solution. New devices come with Matter only. So now I apparently need another adapter again. And when my Hue bulbs eventually die, maybe I should replace everything with Matter compatible stuff too?

So in about 5 years I’ve gone through three and soon four adapters just trying to keep basic smart home stuff working properly.

And this is what frustrates me the most. Smart homes are supposed to make life easier but instead it feels like joining an endless beta test where you constantly replace hardware because the new standard arrived. It creates so much e-waste and it’s impossible for normal people to know what ecosystem they should invest in long term.

I actually like tech. I like tinkering. I can accept hobby projects failing sometimes. But smart home devices are connected to your actual home. Lights, sensors, switches, things your family uses every day. That stuff needs to work 100% of the time, not 99%.

And now everyone says Matter will fix everything but I still keep reading about systems not playing nicely together anyway. So honestly… why does smart home tech still feel so temporary? Why does every future proof setup become outdated two years later?

I’ve been having some connection issues with CarPlay in my VAG-group car, and the manufacturer/dealer told me I should only use an original Apple cable.Ihave an iPhone 17 Pro with USB-C, while my car only has USB-A. As far as I can tell, at least here in Europe, Apple doesn’t even sell a USB-C to USB-A cable.

So now I’m confused.
How am I supposed to use an original Apple cable if Apple doesn’t make one for this setup? I have used third party csble and a usb a to usb adapter and the usbc Apple cable etc

I’m traveling in a few days and just wanted to check if I’m missing something here,?

Why dose every cooking thermometer have the MOST easy to press button be the one that switches between Celsius and Fahrenheit?I swear every single time im cooking somthing important and moving fast I accidently hit that stupid button.

And why is it many times combined with the power button too? Who is out there constantly switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius in the middle of cooking steaks? Why is this not hidden inside the battery compartment or at least a tiny recessed button you need a pen for?

Its such a weird design choice and almost every brand does it. For sure there a good thermometers but this Makes me irrationally angry every time but why is this the standard design.

If a medical company can’t even get something as basic and well documented as USB-C right, how are people supposed to fully trust the rest of the hardware? USB-C is easy compared to designing safe insulin delivery systems, motor control, battery protection and reliable fail safe behavior.

That’s the uncomfortable part. It’s not really about the charging port itself. It’s what it says about the engineering and review process behind the product. When even cheap random electronics manufacturers manages to follow the USB-C spec properly, but a medical device company ships something non compliant anyway, people naturally starts wondering what else inside the device was treated as good enough instead of actually correct. Sure the didn’t manufacture the PDM but the send the spec and didn’t check throng when I came back.

I’ve been thinking about buying a USB-C tester, but one thing I can’t figure out is how “future proof” they actually are. Like… every time USB-C, PD, or some new charging protocol gets updated, do you need to buy a completely new tester? Or can some of these devices get firmware updates and still understand/measure newer standards that didn’t even exist when the hardware came out?

I’m especially wondering about newer stuff like PD 3.2 / AVS support.

I’ve been looking at things like the Alientek C2 and the Power-Z, but I’m not sure how limited they are by the hardware itself vs what can be added later through software updates.

The technology is spreading fast, and the gap between premium and budget brands is shrinking every year. Most if. It all lighting companies are not manufacturing their own LEDs. They are buying emitters from the same suppliers, often using very similar chip technology underneath. Once multiple companies have access to the same LED sources, the hardware itself becomes less unique over time.

The same thing will likely happen with software and control systems. Today some brands still have an advantage with their ecosystem, firmware, apps, dimming curves, calibration, and color science. But eventually those features become easier to copy, reverse engineer, or simply develop in parallel. Patents might protect certain technologies for a while, but probably not forever.

So if everyone eventually has access to similar LEDs, similar output, similar RGBWW engines, similar wireless control, and similar software experiences, what will actually separate the brands in 5–10 years?

I still think high-end productions will continue using brands like ARRI because reliability, service, consistency, rental support, and longterm trust matter at that level. But for a huge part of the industry, especially owner operators and smaller productions, the difference between a premium light and a much cheaper alternative may become harder and harder to justify.

already seeking brand like neewer, gvm etc doing 1200w which only 1-2 did for a few year only

I’ve been wondering about this for a while.

I use Adobe Photoshop ( yes I know resovle has a photo page but nut a ps repalcement ) a lot, and also work with video where I run an Blackmagic ultrastudio for proper monitoring. In apps like resolve it works great, no problems at all.

But in Photoshop there’s just no way (what I can see) to send the image out through ultraStudio to an external monitor.

It feels a bit strange, since a lot of people move between photo and video now, and having proper external monitoring for stills would actually be really useful.

Is there some technical reason for this? Or is it just something Adobe never cared about?

Would be interesting to hear if anyone knows more about this, or if there’s some workaround I missed.

I’m currently testing WordPress 7 and building a custom theme using Claude Code (Opus 4.7).

Right now my workflow is pretty basic, I let Claude code work directly in my theme folder and then I manually check if things actually work. The problem is there’s no proper feedback loop, so a lot of it ends up being trial and error.

For CSS issues I sometimes use the claude xhrome extension to inspect things, which helps a bit, but overall it still feels like I’m guessing and then retrying over and over.

What I’m really missing is some kind of tighter setup where:

errors are easier to catch
changes can be verified automatically
and ideally Claude can “see” what’s actually happening in the browser

Has anyone found a better workflow for this? Maybe using MCP, browser automation, or something like LocalWP/Docker + testing tools?

Curious how others are handling AI-assisted WordPress development without it becoming a bit of a blind process.
